-6tan2xcsc^3 2x

Explanation:

f(x)=csc^3(2x)=(sin2x)^-3

Now that we see the sin2x instead of csc2x term, it is pretty straight forward from here.

(df(x))/(dx)=-3(sin2x)^-4(cos2x)(2)
=-6cot2xcsc^3 2x

-The -3 comes from the power.
-The power -4 is because of the differentiation.
-The cos2x because you want to differentiate sin2x in the bracket.
-The 2 because you differentiate 2x.
